Facing Forward...

Are you facing forward but locked into the past?

 I made many decisions based on my past experiences.  Some of those experiences were like a dam that stopped the flow of my growth and caused me to function on what was, not what was in the present or possible for the future.

It has taken many years to come to the place in my life to move forward without the chains that locked me in a place that I could not see the future.  God is so faithful.  As long as I asked Him to participate in my life, He has done so.  My false perceptions have been gently dealt with as He provided the Holy Spirit's guidance.  His love has chipped away at the stone state of my fear and allowed the joy and possibility for the future.

Caregiving was an experience that I was unprepared for and depleted me of many things.  However, in that state of vulnerability, the voice of the Holy Spirit was loud and clear.  Like a child, He has held me close, removed my hands covering the eyes of my heart and provided hope.

Where ever you are, there is hope.  You might tell me that I don't know your situation.  You might say I have no idea what I am talking about regarding your life.  BUT, I know Who does.
